Mersey Canal over the Trent and Mersey Canal. Dated 1829. Red
English bond brick with ashlar dressings. Single span. Central
cambered archway with chamfered ashlar quoins to the sides and similar
voussoirs. To either side its retaining wall curves forward and is
battered and there is a battered pilaster buttress to either side. An
ashlar roll-moulding divides the body of the bridge from the parapet
which has an ashlar coping. To the centre above the arch is a

Canal was owned by the Trent and Mersey Canal Company and built by
their engineers.
